Obituary of Samuel Galyean

Little River Regular Baptist Association, 1943

SAMUEL GALYEAN was born the fourth day of March, 1860. This
making his stay of earth 81 years, 6 months and 11 days, He was
married to Pinky Cheeks, 1884. Under this union were born 7
children, 5 girls and 2 boys. 3 preceded him unto death. He
leaves his dear companion, 4 children, 10 grandchildren and a
host of friends and neighbors to mourn their loss. The children
living are Mrs. Dan Gentry, of Mt. Airy, NC; Mrs Claude Simcox,
of Low Gap, NC and Arthur Galyean, of Low Gap, NC; and Mrs. Floyd
Mays, of Dobson, NC. He professed a hope in Christ about 25 years
ago, and lived faithful unto death. We feel if he could speak
that he would say, "Don't weep for me, for I have
reached that peaceful shore to dwell with Christ for
evermore." Funeral services by Elder W. T. Wilmoth and Elder
M. T. Brooks.
